LinkThing enhances your browsing experience by letting you reposition your tabs the way that you need.
Simply install the LinkThing extension, enable it and choose the options that suits you best from the preferences window and you are ready to go.
Here are some key features of "LinkThing":
New tab positioning:
· When you Command-click a link in Safari to open the link in a new tab, Safari puts the new tab at the right end of the tab bar. If you would rather have the new tab open next to the current tab, LinkThing is your friend.
· You can choose whether to have new tabs from links open to the left of the current tab, to the right of the current tab, or at the end. These options can be found in the extensions area of Safari`s Preferences window.
· LinkThing enhances your browsing experience by letting you reposition your tabs the way that you need.
Opening links in new tabs by default:
· If you find yourself Command-clicking links on a particular site almost all the time, LinkThing can save you the trouble of holding down the Command key with every click.
· You can tell LinkThing to open all links on a site in new tabs by default, or just offsite links (that is, links that go to other sites). You`ll find these options in the context menu when you right-click anywhere on a page. If one of these options is set, Command-clicking means the opposite of what it normally means???so Command-clicking in this case will open a link in the current tab.
Lightweight "status bar":
· As a bonus, LinkThing also includes an optional "pseudo status bar" feature. As with other extensions that are dedicated to this kind of feature, you can turn off Safari`s status bar to save screen space, without losing the ability to peek at the URLs of links.
· The feature works by showing link URLs in a little bar that only appears at the bottom of the window while the mouse is over a link. As soon as you move the mouse away from a link, the little bar disappears.
· LinkThing`s pseudo status bar is very lightweight???it doesn`t do anything fancy, like showing favicons or resolving shortened URLs, as some of the dedicated extensions do. But if you don`t need those kinds of features, this option may be all you need.
Requirements:
· Safari 5 or later
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Linkthing???s feature of rewriting Google Images links to point directly to image files was broken by a change in the URLs Google uses for image searches. This update fixes that so the link rewriting works again.
